parkerxiii Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 "paint.net the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" It then tells me to locate a folder where an MSI can be found, I found the MSI then installed it there, same problem. I've tried deleting all files trying again, installing an older version, using custom install to install it somewhere else Nothing is working:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 When you download paint.net it comes as a zip file. Be sure to unzip the files to your desktop before starting the installer. Many people report trouble if trying to run the installer from inside the zip file.

parkerxiii Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 (my located area) "is not a valid installation package for the product Paint.NET v3.5.4 Try to find the installation package 'PaintDotNext.x86.msi' in a folder from which you can install Paint.net v3.5.4" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 You're trying to install a very old version of paint.net.  Download the latest from here http://www.dotpdn.com/downloads/pdn.html Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego Eram Reputo Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Sounds like you need to remove some legacy bits of the prior installation. Go here http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/692-install-update-or-uninstall-trouble-read-this/ and read up on the Windows Installer CleanUp utility (post #2).

BoltBait Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 You're trying to install this application into your documents folder. That's not good. Try installing paint.net to the default file location.

parkerxiii Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 I've tried that too, I read on another post to try installing it somewhere else if it wont install in program files, but I'll give it another try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltBait Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 OK, one more thing. Instead of double clicking on the icon to start the installer, try right-clicking on it and choose "Run as Administrator". Does that make a difference? Quote Click to play: Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and how about a Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltBait Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 One last idea: Right click on that file on your desktop and choose "Properties" from the menu. On the properties screen, click on the "General" tab and look at the lower right corner of that tab for an "Unblock" button. If there, click it and then click "Apply". Try the install again. Also, you may need to run REGEDIT and delete the following key before trying to install: EDIT: It looks like some part of your system is using a network drive. Is this true? If so, can you eliminate that part from the install? Can you disconnect from your network while installing? Or, you could run REGEDIT and do a search (F3) for "\Paint.NET\Staging\" and delete that entire key as well. _____________ Quote Click to play: Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and how about a Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Don't know if it will help, but you could try disabling your anti-virus before you attempt to install. Remember to enable it again afterwards Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkerxiii Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Going to type this as I go along: Unblocked it, Paint.NET is not listed there when I ran REGEDIT so I'll attempt to install Also, the laptop is not connected to the network anymore it used to be but I'll try removing that too Same problem I'll try the other REGEDIT thing Currently searching for \Paint.NET\Staging\ nothing came up somehow? anti virus is disabled whats going onnnnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Go into regedit and search for "CurriculumSoftware\Paint.net" and see if you can find something about the installer. If so, delete that key. Be sure to start at the top of regedit when searching.

BoltBait Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 That path name that the installer is trying to use must come from the registry. Try again to find it and eliminate it.

BoltBait Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Perhaps I mistyped the search string as it is hard to see in the video. Can you copy it right out of the installer and try again?
